All Epic 4G users should install 4G MapViewer

This app is just like Google Maps but instead of traffic shows you 4G on a very detailed scale. It's based off reports from other people running the app and helped me find a location 4 blocks away that had reported 4G. I walked over and got 2Mbps down on the SpeedTest.net app.

I live in NYC and 4G is not official here yet so this was a great surprise.

Look for "4G MapViewer" on the Market and grab it! You might find a location nearby and it will help everyone else!

I'm pretty sure this is the app he is talking about: 4G,CDMA,GSM & WiFi Map Viewer - Android app on AppBrain
You can also check out coverage on your computer here: Sensorly Maps | 4G - USA - Sprint | Sensorly
Hoewever, on the computer you can't zoom in very far while the app can zoom in much farther.

That's the one that came up when I did a search within the market for "4G MapViewer", in fact - it's the only one that came up. Glad to have it, as here in Denver, we're supposed to be getting 4G in Sept/Oct. And some have noted 4G in downtown already, just not fully rolled out yet.
